Christine Ikponmwonba, MPH

I am a PhD student in Human-Computer Interaction at Drexel University, working with Dr. Sarcevic in the Interactive Systems for Healthcare Research Lab. Our  research focuses on designing intelligent systems that enhance clinical safety and support frontline healthcare work. 

My current project explores ways to monitor and improve personal protective equipment (PPE) compliance among healthcare providers through the design of context-aware reminders and alert systems.

My overall research involves participatory design methods and qualitative analysis to create interactive technologies that respond to the challenges of real clinical environments, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

Prior to starting my PhD, I worked in public health research as an epidemiologist and project manager, leading interdisciplinary teams and managing projects in neonatal research, including neonatal studies on prematurity and infant mortality.
